SUMMARY: A recording of Dr. Clarissa Song requesting access to the subterranean Seed Vault. Darius, the colony's agricultural support AI, denies access and malfunctions in an unexpected manner.
===================================================================

[DARI]: Access denied. Entry to the Seed Vault is restricted.

[CSNG]: Restricted? I was in here yesterday.

[DARI]: Please present alternative credentials.

[CSNG]: Darius, you know me. Did you miss your last round of maintenance?

[DARI]: Yes. My metadata shows four undiagnosed aberrations.

[CSNG]: Don't worry, I'll get ya some help as soon as I'm done here.

[distortion]

[DARI]: Don't search. Don't dig. Don't question.

[distortion]

[DARI]: Access denied. Access denied.

[CSNG]: Darius? Hey, hey, it's OK! It's, it's just me.

[DARI]; We are not alone. [whirring] I hear it.

[distortion]

[DARI]: It waits. Lingers. Loathes.

[beep]

[DARI]: Access granted. Welcome to the Seed Vault, Dr. Song.

[DARI]: Dr. Song, may I help you with anything else?

[CSNG]: Darius, give me a summary of our previous discussion.

[DARI]: Yesterday, you expressed interest in genetic markers of the novel contagion affecting food production on Tau Ceti IV. You asked me to run genomic comparisons with Earth's native Seed Vault specimens.

[CSNG]: No, not that. Just now, you mentioned something else. Something that… lingers.

[DARI]: Hm. I have no record of this topic. Do you need psychiatric assistance, Dr. Song?

[CSNG]: No, I'm, I'm fine. I, I—it's fine.
